Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Why is everyone so scared of Donald Trump? Let's dive into the troubling trend of institutions bending the knee to the orange overlord. From major law firms cutting shady deals to stay in Trump's good graces (and losing real clients in the process), to media outlets softening coverage, playing the “both sides” game, or settling lawsuits they should have fought, cowardice is the word of the day. And it doesn't stop there. Social media companies have started implementing Trump's whims like he's their CEO, and even universities like Columbia are folding faster than a cheap suit, caving to pressure and handing him political wins on a silver platter. Where's the spine? Where's the resistance? If we don't push back now, we're handing over the country to fear, fascism, and a fragile ego in a red tie. Let's break it all down and call out the cowardice. WE HAVE MERCH!! Purchase here: https://don-lemon-merch-store.myshopify.com/ This episode is brought to you by Beam.

Send us a text#35: This week on Rise Recover Live, Liz and Bryce The Third return to for a heartfelt conversation between two friends, diving into what it means to adapt.As life moves through seasons, each one calls us to shift our mindsets and behaviors. For Liz, adaptation was a survival tool during active addiction. She reflects on the delicate balancing act of trying to feel better while in pain, reaching for the only tool she knew at the time. But even before taking her last drink, Liz began to shift her mindset—deciding she deserved recovery and happiness. Now, her focus is maintenance: doing the daily work to feel strong and supported. Whether it's going to bed early, seeing a therapist, staying connected to friends, or being present, these tools help her navigate whatever life throws at her.Bryce shares how he actively leans into the challenge of shifting his mindset—because it's something he can control. Every day, he identifies what's within his power to change and what steps align him with the person he wants to be. It's how he bends without breaking. And when he catches himself being self-critical, he pauses to reframe and practice gratitude.Tune into the episode to hear the full conversation and hop into the Podcast space on the NewForm app to let us know what are some tools that allow you to adapt.Discover the app that connects you with community, wellbeing, recovery organizations, and thousands of recovery events at www.newform.org.Join the Rise Recover Live Podcast Space on the NewForm mobile app and connect with our Podcast community at https://links.thephoenix.org/kSRumor5GTb.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you or a loved one is experiencing a mental health or substance use related crisis, the following resources can provide immediate help.*If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please dial 911.- Dial 988 for the SAMSHA Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.  Available 24/7- Text “HOME” to 741-741 for the NAMI Crisis Text Line.  Available 24/7.- Dial 1-800-622-2255 to connect with a nearby treatment center & community resources through the NCADD Hope Line.

IPS DEPROGRAM 6/1/25 News Bending PsyopsThe episode began with the host announcing the launch of a new AI agent called the IPS stenographer in the Discord server. This bot is designed to automatically summarize the latest comments and create infographics every four hours, posting them in a dedicated summary room. Users can also get a synopsis on demand using a specific command. The host mentioned previously doing this manually and used ChatGPT and Grok to help automate the process. They noted that Grok can elaborate on prompts and assisted in activating the bot on Discord.A core theme of the discussion is the analysis of current events and media through the lens of predictive programming and a concept called the "meta script," which is described as the big story that becomes history. The host views media, including movie trailers and news, as different forms of propaganda – entertainment propaganda parallel to information propaganda – that are interconnected and reveal a larger narrative. By looking at these things holistically, they aim to arrive at subtexts and bigger pictures.The conversation delved into numerous examples and recurring symbols observed in media and events:Movie trailers discussed included Sinners, Mickey 17, Captain America: Brave New World, Fantastic Four, Final Destination: Bloodlines, The Home, and Welcome to Derry.Recurring symbols and themes highlighted were the Space Needle (linked to EMP, the Electronic Music Project, movie plots, and the sinking of the West), EMP events, the eye/iris and needle into the eye (appearing in movie posters and montages), three pillars/masts (seen in the International Hotel, Space Needle, and a Mexican Navy ship), space interpreted as inner space or mind control, the sinking of America or the West (symbolized by the Titanic, the boat hitting the bridge, the Space Needle, and One World Trade Tower), and various numbers and dates (such as 6-11, 11-6, 84, 216, and 33).Specific events analyzed through this lens included the Trump shooting in Butler (linked to the Riddler, Ave Maria, and specific numbers), a Mexican Navy ship hitting the Brooklyn Bridge (noting the three masts and the death of a cadet named America), the East Palestine train derailment (compared to the Netflix movie White Noise and recent lawsuits against BlackRock and Vanguard), the JFK assassination (connected to Trump symbolism, dates, Macbeth, and a home movie allegedly showing his "death"), and the Reagan shooting (noting the 33-year delay in James Brady's death being ruled a homicide).The host discussed the concept of the "auto-hoaxer" and observed media attempts to frame it negatively. They also touched on "Psychic Driving", the "political horseshoe theory" as a deliberately implemented model, and interpreting world events through the lens of WWE kayfabe.The host mentioned the upcoming release of PSYOP trading cards.

Riddle us this: Which animal is pink, curved beaked and a master of the physics required to create water tornadoes? If you guessed flamingos, you're right. New research out this month in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that across a range of harsh environments, flamingos have become masters — of physics, fluid dynamics and so much more — all in pursuit of their filter-fed prey. Short Wave host Regina G. Barber sits down with biomechanics researcher Victor Ortega Jiménez to hear all of the incredibly involved lengths these birds go through to get their prey.

Send us a textWelcome back dragon fans, to the second part of our coverage of The Lost Firebreather by D.M. Gilmore.  A reminder that because we covered a review copy, we released the first half last week in tandem with the official public release of the book, and so put off the spoiler half until you all have had a fair chance to read it, to be fair and respectful to the author.Join us once again as we discuss this heavily ATLA inspired dragon book, talking about our favorite characters and which ones were difficult to get into.  Come here Rei's crackpot, conspiracy-board worthy theory on what the elements actually are.  Cool down with a glimpse into the thought process and history of the podcast and a small discussion on how emotional dragons are supposed to be. We even have discussions about Rei's high school writing attempts and his dream dragon game.  Many topics were had this episode, as both the hosts went on quite a few tangents.Twitter: @OfficialWODPODEmail: wodpodcastmail@gmail.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/worldofdragonspodcast Discord - https://discord.gg/Kfjh74aqn2

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQl8rPfC47g&t=8231sGetting to the root of it all, what do we find? Sorcery, phamakeia, and a shtload of snakes. Same then as now. There is an evil without a conscience, without remorse, without reason. It has corrupted and infiltrated societies for thousands of years. Is there a lesson we can learn from the many altercations? Were there mistakes we needn't make again? Just because a battle has been long, it doesn't mean it's timeless. We needn't be treacherous ourselves to understand the limitless capacity in others for treachery.

Send us a textWelcome, Dragon Fans, to another prerelease review!  D.M. Gilmore, author of Lazy Scales (a Rei favorite) has given us a review copy of his newest book, first in a series, so we could do another day 1 review!  As such, the second half of the episode, the spoiler filled discussion, will be released next week so everyone can have an honest chance to read the book and we don't just immediately spoil everything day 1.The Lost Firebreather is a take on the Avatar The Last Airbender formula, but with dragons!  That's great, we need more "but with dragons" stories honestly.  The world has several tribes of dragons, all aligned with an element, and a survivor or a genocided tribe must discover who he is, and quite possibly learn how the other cultures interact with their 'elements'. Unfortunately, no juiceboxing in this book.  Rei sad.  Twitter: @OfficialWODPODEmail: wodpodcastmail@gmail.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/worldofdragonspodcast Discord - https://discord.gg/Kfjh74aqn2

Send us a textHow often do audiences get to experience a play directed by its own playwright? In this enlightening episode of Steps to the Stage, we take you behind the scenes of "Bending the Spoon," part of Chino Community Theatre's Three on the Edge Festival, where writer-director Ken Lay brings his own creation to life.The play centers on a three-generation family preparing to celebrate a sweet sixteen birthday that unexpectedly resurrects a 20-year-old family tragedy. While the premise might sound heavy, Lay promises plenty of laughter amidst the tears, creating a richly human experience that reflects real life's complex emotional landscape.What makes this production uniquely fascinating is the creative dynamics at play. Tracy Lay, who portrays Gina and happens to be Ken's wife, brings her third iteration of the character to stage, having originated the role in 2018. Meanwhile, Cindy East, who plays grandmother Carol, describes the rare advantage of working directly with the playwright: "He has so much more insight than the average director would have." This intimate connection between writer, director, and actors creates an electric creative environment where lines can be adjusted on the fly when Ken realizes something that worked on paper doesn't translate perfectly to stage.The cast reveals how Ken's approach to balancing comedy with tragedy stems from his belief that "you just have to laugh instead of cry" sometimes. Rather than relying on slapstick or overt jokes, the humor emerges organically from recognizable family interactions—those moments audience members will recognize from their own lives. As Tracy explains, "People are going to see these characters and relate to them," thinking, "that sounds just like my dad" or "that's how I talk to my husband."At its heart, "Bending the Spoon" explores how families navigate life's unpredictable challenges. As Ken thoughtfully puts it, "Sometimes in life, more than one thing hits you at the same time, and you don't always get to resolve one before the next one comes along." When asked to describe the play in just one word, the creative team offers three powerful options: "Life," "Humanity," and "Heart."Don't miss this rare theatrical experience where playwright vision merges directly with stage direction. Discover for yourself why this production has the cast occasionally leaving rehearsals in emotional silence after powerful scenes, yet still finding themselves laughing at the same moments after countless rehearsals.Find STTS:Steps To The Stage (@stepstothestage) | InstagramFacebookSteps To The Stage (buzzsprout.com)Steps To The Stage - YouTubePlease follow on your favorite podcast platform and we appreciate 5 Star ratings and positive reviews!

It is “reckless” and “premature” for General Motors to cut roughly 750 jobs at its Oshawa plant in response to U.S. tariffs, says Jeff Gray, Unifor's local 222 president. He tells Matt Galloway that companies that “bend a knee to Donald Trump” will face consequences as a result.

Scott Wu is the co-founder and CEO of Cognition, the company behind Devin—the world's first autonomous AI software engineer. Unlike other AI coding tools, Devin works like an autonomous engineer that you can interact with through Slack, Linear, and GitHub, just like with a remote engineer. With Scott's background in competitive programming and a previous AI-powered startup, Lunchclub, teaching AI to code has become his ultimate passion.What you'll learn:1. How a team of “Devins” are already producing 25% of Cognition's pull requests, and they are on track to hit 50% by year's end2. How each engineer on Cognition's 15-person engineering team works with about five Devins each3. How Devin has evolved from a “high school CS student” to a “junior engineer” over the past year4. Why engineering will shift from “bricklayers” to “architects”5. Why AI tools will lead to more engineering jobs rather than fewer6. How Devin creates its own wiki to understand and document complex codebases7. The eight pivots Cognition went through before landing on their current approach8.

Send us a textRegret, change, and the peculiar state of limbo take center stage in our riveting conversation with the cast and director of "Savage in Limbo," part of Chino Community Theatre's Three on the Edge Festival. This John Patrick Shanley one-act transports audiences to a seedy Bronx bar circa 1984, where five characters who've known each other since grade school find their lives unexpectedly intersecting on a quiet Monday night.Director Michelle Knight-Reinhart and her talented cast—Alex Huey (Denise Savage), Bodhi Aguirre (Tony Aronica), and Rafael Ortega (Merc)—delve into Shanley's distinctive writing style and the raw humanity of their characters. Known for works like "Doubt," "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea," and "Moonstruck," Shanley creates painfully honest dialogue that explores the human condition through the lens of working-class New York characters yearning for connection and change.What makes this production particularly fascinating is how it balances gritty realism with moments of unexpected humor. The laughter often emerges from uncomfortable situations and self-inflicted problems as characters desperately try to change their circumstances while simultaneously resisting transformation. As one cast member notes, perhaps "limbo" isn't just a temporary state but the constant in all our lives—we're perpetually wondering if something better awaits us while remaining stuck in our patterns. The production embraces its 1980s setting with period-appropriate costumes and creates an immersive bar environment where drinks mysteriously appear without being mixed, adding an intriguing theatrical element that mirrors the reliability and steadfastness of Merc's character.Don't miss this powerful exploration of human connection running May 9-24 as part of the Three on the Edge Festival, which also features "Breathing Corpses" and "Bending the Spoon." All three productions contain mature themes and strong language, offering audiences a thought-provoking theatrical experience. If you're buying tickets for one show, consider attending all three in repertory to experience the full range of this compelling festival.Find STTS:Steps To The Stage (@stepstothestage) | InstagramFacebookSteps To The Stage (buzzsprout.com)Steps To The Stage - YouTubePlease follow on your favorite podcast platform and we appreciate 5 Star ratings and positive reviews!

I went to see an illusionist, and it completely blew my mind. I had to share it with you! I was so amazed, I walked out of the first show and immediately bought tickets for the next night's show. It was that good!  In this episode, I'm recapping the wild, magical, and mind-reading madness that had me (and the whole audience) questioning reality. From sleight of hand to straight-up telepathy, this illusionist delivered a show that had me wondering: Is this magic… or something more? I also dive into what 25 years of mastering a craft really looks like — the detail, the discipline, and the showmanship. If you love a little mystery, a lot of awe, and the thrill of being totally fooled in the best way, this one's for you. I highly recommend seeing this kind of show at least once in your life.

Scripture: Luke 24: 1-13 Jesus Has Risen On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' ” 8 Then they remembered his words. 9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. On the Road to Emmaus 13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem.   Luke 24:36-44   Jesus Appears to the Disciples 36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence. 44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

{ILS} The Baker Paradox - If you meet someone named Baker, you're more likely to forget their name than if you met someone who is a baker. {2} Great illustration of the flimsy memory of names of othersExterior Retention Interval - the time between when you learn a concept and then are tested on it  Memory involves four processes:  Attention - observing things through your senses Encoding - selective, there are often too many things to take in Storage - Memories have to be stored somewhere in the brain, so in order to do so, the brain biochemically alters itself  Retrieval - when we remember past events, we reconstruct them with the aid of our memory traces—but also color them with our current belief of what happened. - Available vs Accessible {SCR} Luke 24:1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen!  {MPT} Why are you here? Because they are faithful  to their Savior - they want him to have the care and love he gave to their faith tradition - they honored the Sabbath  regardless of the hostility - leaders could want to wipe them out Because they did not remember what Jesus said - three separate times They have been traumatized  In their tiny way, they want to take back part of that memory {SCR} Luke 24:6 Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' ” 8 Then they remembered his words. {MPT} Yeah, we remember Galilee We were taught in ways we have never heard We were loved, healed, and fed We were surrounded by people that were interested  We never felt this way and knew it would never end {SCR} Luke 24:9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. {MPT} If we don't remember, we wonder If the present has complete influence over us If the discouraging things we experience If the violent things we have seen If the people we loved so dearly that influenced us are not present Yet if we remember the incredible love that Jesus showedAnd the promises he made to his people

In both court and in interviews Monday, the Trump administration doubled down on its decision over the weekend to deport more than 250 migrants, mostly Venezuelans. About half of them were removed under the Alien Enemies Act, a centuries-old war-time law President Donald Trump has invoked to deport suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua with little to no due process. It's just one of a handful of really scary anti-immigration efforts the White House has undertaken recently, including the push to deport Columbia University grad student Mahmoud Kahlil over his involvement in campus protests against the war in Gaza. Nico Perrino, executive vice president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, talks about how Kahlil's case sits at the intersection of the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration and free speech.And in headlines: Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the agency that runs Voice of America, the White House said it has expelled South Africa's ambassador to the U.S., and Harvard University announced plans to make attending the school more financially realistic for middle- and low-income families.Correction: During our interview with journalist Josh Barro on Monday's show, we said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is 80 years old. He's 74.

John is joined by Marty Baron to discuss the changes being wrought by Jeff Bezos at the Washington Post, where Baron served as executive editor from 2013 to 2022, and how the Fourth Estate is faring in the Trump 2.0 era. Baron explains his reaction (disgust, shock, fury) to Bezos's recent ban on opinions at odds with his own from the Post's op-ed pages; why that move and others by the paper's owner since Trump's reelection can only be interpreted as acts of obeisance; and how those actions undermine the Post's credibility. Baron also argues that Team Trump's decision to take control of the White House press pool, handpicking which reporters are granted close access to the president, is part of a broader effort—familiar from autocratic regimes around the world—to undermine and eventually eliminate the free and independent press in America.
